Go here and paste your list into the box or load from a file. You have your numbers backwards on the list though. Should be -92.XXXXX, 38.0918 etc..

Send me a direct e-mail and I can send those back in a *.gpx file which you can open in HumminbirdPC and upload to a memory card to install in your unit.

I am curious as well as far as manually entering GPS Coords. Can you just enter them into Hum PC and export them to the sd card so when you plug the card into the unit it will read them? I've done them through humviewer before, but have never tried manually entering them through hum PC.

Thanks big time Hummingbird Greg. I got the files in HB-PC then i went to download them on my card and find out i don't have a card reader---- Going to wally world --All should be fine now but if its not i know who to ask. Thanks

Yes, that will work as well.

This is basically what I did except I cheated and did some copy/paste and a little EXCEL usage to get the original waypoint data into HumminbirdPC.

Charley41,
If you are using an SDHC type memory card (larger than 2GB in capacity) than make sure that you get an SDHC compatible memory card reader as well. They will also read the SD memory cards too.

After i got the Link from Hummingbrid Greg. I turn my unit on stuck the card in and all was downloaded like it should. This very easy done. Then i went out on the lake and located a few of those brush plies. Caught a lots of fish but only had 7 keepers. In a great day. Thanks
